" We are one family in Christ with a welcoming heart called to serve "

I am grateful to the following members of the pastoral council, Linda Watson, Francisco Saldaña, and Virginia Eckert for serving for the past three years, and Elizabeth Chapman for serving for four years. Special thanks to Elizabeth Chapman for serving as the chairperson of the council this past year. Together with the rest of the council members, you all work cohesively and tirelessly with me on issues affecting the parish and together we were able to address them effectively. I appreciate the counsel you provided to me. During the past year, the members were able to produce a bylaw for the council, they supported the formation of a Young Adult Ministry at our parish and worked raise awareness and participation of parish volunteers in VIRTUS among other things. I truly appreciate all the hard work and counsel of the council. As these four complete their term, I invite interested parishioners to step up to join the Pastoral Council. You can nominate yourself or some other parishioners by contacting me (pastor@st-mm.com) or you can also send the nomination to the outgoing chairperson, Elizabeth Chapman, echapman@kingwoodcable.com. Discernment to the Parish Council will take place on Sunday, 26 August at 2:30 pm.
